Slow Cooker Asian Pork Tacos

As we moved into fall, I was tired of grilling burgers every weekend, yet it was too hot to fix a batch of chili or other autumnal comfort food. Slow cooker Asian pork tacos were a perfect alternative, especially topped with a classic rainbow slaw. The pork was super easy to throw together. I simply plopped it into the slow cooker over a bed of chunked onions. As it started to cook, I mixed the sauce ingredients in a saucepan and let it simmer away until thickened, then basted the pork with the magical mixture.

Shredded Pork

The flavorful, shredded pork was easily transformed into tacos by spooning it into tortillas of one’s choice. I enjoyed mine with a simple cabbage slaw, but you could definitely stay with the theme and create an Asian slaw with ginger, garlic, a splash of soy and sesame oil and more. I preferred my shredded pork tacos with a basic coleslaw, but the tender, slow cooked pork stole the show. Volunteer to be the shredder as it gives ample opportunity to do some sampling. All in the name of quality control, of course. Hope you’ll give these slow cooker Asian tacos a try to celebrate National Taco Day on October 4!
